This celestial object called IRAS 14348-1447 is actually a combination of two gas-rich spiral galaxies. It is located over a billion light-years away from us. It is one of the most gas-rich examples known of an ultraluminous infrared galaxy, a class of cosmic objects that shine characteristically — and incredibly — brightly in the infrared part of the spectrum. The image was taken by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.
